A 20 year old Tallaght man has gone on trial accused of murdering a homeless man with cerebral palsy.
The court heard 23 year old Adam Muldoon died after being stabbed more than 180 times in a park in Dublin.
The jury heard this alleged murder focuses on a lovely evening in June 2018 where a group of young people had gathered in an estate in Tallaght.
Some were eating pizza, drinking and smoking weed.
The group then dispersed and it’s the Prosecution’s case that the accused Philip Dunbar of Glenshane Drive and the deceased Adam Muldoon went into Butler Park in Jobstown where Mr Dunbar stabbed Adam Muldoon 183 times.
Adam Muldoon – who had the nickname ‘Floater’ was described in court as a settled homeless person. He had cerebral palsy and sometimes used a walking stick or zimmer frame.
The 23 year old’s body was found the following morning by a man walking his dog.
The jury was told, it would hear, the accused Philip Dunbar, who was 17 at the time, went to a friend’s house and said he had stabbed ‘Floater’.
He has pleaded not guilty to murder.
